The htdbm program offers equivalentfunctionality and, like mod_auth_dbm, can operate a variety of database formats; the -T optioncan be used on the command line to specify the format to use.Table 10.1, “Migrating from dbmmanage to htdbm” shows how to migrate from a DBM-formatdatabase to htdbm format using dbmmanage.Action dbmmanage command (1.3) Equivalent htdbmcommand (2.0)Add user to database (usinggiven password)dbmmanage authdb addusername passwordhtdbm -b -TDB authdbusername passwordAdd user to database(prompts for password)dbmmanage authdb adduserusernamehtdbm -TDB authdbusernameRemove user from database dbmmanage authdb deleteusernamehtdbm -x -TDB authdbusernameList users in database dbmmanage authdb view htdbm -l -TDB authdbVerify a password dbmmanage authdb checkusernamehtdbm -v -TDB authdbusernameTable 10.1. Migrating from dbmmanage to htdbmThe -m and -s options work with both dbmmanage and htdbm, enabling the use of the MD5 orSHA1 algorithms for hashing passwords, respectively.When creating a new database with htdbm, the -c option must be used.For more on this topic, refer to the following documentation on the Apache SoftwareFoundation's website:• http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_auth_dbm.html2.4.6.
